SECURE Act Update
529 Plan benefits are
expanding.
On December 20, 2019, the SECURE Act was signed into federal law. This Act allows 529 Plan account owners to withdraw assets without adverse federal income tax consequences to pay for certain apprenticeship programs and/or to pay principal and interest on qualified higher education loans for the account beneficiary or any of the beneficiary's siblings. The loan repayment provisions apply to repayments up to a lifetime maximum of $10,000 per individual.
The Kentucky General Assembly is presently considering legislation that would apply the aforementioned tax advantages for Kentucky state income tax purposes as well. As with any change to law, we encourage account owners to consult a qualified tax advisor regarding the application of federal and state tax laws to their particular situation.
If you have questions about the KY Saves 529 Plan, you can reach our Customer Service team by phone at 877.598.7878, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Eastern Time.

You also may wish to contact directly your home state’s 529 college savings plan(s), or any other 529 plan, to learn more about those plans’ features, benefits, and limitations. You should also consult your financial, tax, or other advisor to learn more about how state-based benefits (or any limitations) would apply to your specific circumstances.
